.. It seems that anyone who gets to the BIGGER stage, needs to have had been engaging in a variety of practices along the way, and learning through practice that gives feedback that is more practical than mere reading and investigating.. yet the ongoing and persistent reading and investigating can become more focused when it is informed by various real world actions.
I couldn't agree more with you. I'm yet to find a single person at the top who got there by accident...it is always a product of habit developed over the years.

Christiano Ronaldo, the famous footballer is known to be so dedicated to training with huge discipline to his career. I once read somewhere that he is always the first to appear in training and the last to leave. Same things go for Leonel Messi... the list is endless.
Your post does not lead to one discussion and I see there are many things that have no relationship between one another. Avoiding taxes is the same as you don't comply with the rules and if you live in a legal country, the rules cannot be ignored according to our wishes. How can you possibly achieve wealth if you ignore tax rules because in fact the wealth we have has the rights of other people in it, for example the rights of the poor which are facilitated by state taxes. Except when you try to take advantage of investing in bitcoin independently which does not require taxes every time you make a profit, but taxes will be charged when converting bitcoins to fiat through a centralized exchange.
